Reactive uptake kinetics of NO3 on multicomponent and multiphase organic mixtures containing unsaturated and saturated organics.

چکیده
We investigated the reactive uptake of NO(3) (an important night-time oxidant in the atmosphere) on binary mixtures containing an unsaturated organic (methyl oleate) and saturated molecules (diethyl sebacate, dioctyl sebacate, and squalane) which we call matrix molecules. These studies were carried out to better understand the reactivity of unsaturated organics in multicomponent and multiphase atmospheric particles. For liquid binary mixtures the reactivity of methyl oleate depended on the matrix molecule. Assuming a bulk reaction, H(matrix)√(D(matrix)k(oleate)) varied by a factor of 2.7, and assuming a surface reaction H(matrix)(S)K(matrix)(S)k(oleate)(S) varied by a factor of 3.6, where H(matrix)√(D(matrix)k(oleate) and H(matrix)(S)K(matrix)(S)k(oleate)(S) are constants extracted from the data using the resistor model. For solid-liquid mixtures, the reactive uptake coefficient depended on exposure time: the uptake decreased by a factor of 10 after exposure to NO(3) for approximately 90 min. By assuming either a bulk or surface reaction, the atmospheric lifetime of methyl oleate in different matrices was estimated for moderately polluted atmospheric conditions. For all liquid mixtures, the lifetime was in the order of a few minutes (with an upper limit of 35 min). These lifetimes can be used as lower limits to the lifetimes in semi-solid mixtures. Our studies emphasize that the lifetime of unsaturated organics (similar to methyl oleate) is likely short if the particle matrix is in a liquid state.

متن کاملThermodynamics of the solubility of potassium nitrate in the mixed solvent, Ethanol+Water, and the related Ion-association
Using the evaporating method, the solubility of potassium Nitrate was determined in various mixtures containing Water and Ethanol at 25°C. The results show that the solubility of KNo3 decreases with increasing the mass percent of Ethanol in the mixtures. This trend is along with decreasing the dielectric constant of Water+Ethanol mixtures. Moreover, it can be concluded that the totqal solubilit...
متن کاملEffect of fatty acid mixtures on phytohaemagglutinin-stimulated lymphocytes of different species.
It has been shown that changes in fatty acid turnover are an early event in the response in vitro of animal lymphocytes to mitogens (Resch & Ferber, 1972). Fatty acids added to the medium in ethanol inhibit the increase in uridine and thymidine uptake in human lymphocytes, which is a normal part of the response (Meriin ef al., 1974). We have previously reported that even when bound to albumin, ...

The ability of calcium to induce phase separation in multicomponent lipid mixtures containing various unsaturated species of acidic and neutral phospholipids has been investigated by 31P NMR, 3H NMR, and small-angle X-ray diffraction techniques. It is shown that, in unsaturated (dioleoyl-) phosphatidylglycerol (PG)/phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) (1:1) and phosphatidic acid (PA)/phosphatidylcholi...
